“When you’re a mom, you need to cut as many corners as you can,” says Lily Aldridge. But even as a mother of one, eight months pregnant with her second child, the 33-year-old supermodel is still prioritizing self-care as much as possible, executing a streamlined, head-to-belly beauty routine imbued with a dose of glamour inside her adopted hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.

“I [switched] my beauty products to be as natural as possible because I think that’s really important,” she explains as she lights a relaxing Le Feu De L’Eau Tuberose Candle and proceeds to spread Fresh’s Lotus Youth Preserve Rescue Mask across her bare face. Her favorite thing about the latter treatment? The look on her 6-year-old daughter Dixie Pearl’s face when she wears it. “She always tells me, ‘Mom, you have barnacles on your face!’ ” Next up, is Hatch Mama’s hydrating Belly Mask infused with healing hero ingredients aloe vera and propolis. “It’s supposed to help with stretch marks, which is always great,” she explains. “But the fact is, I got stretch marks from my last pregnancy [and] I’ll probably [still] get them from this one. And that’s beautiful and part of the journey!”

While removing the face mask with a warm washcloth and double cleansing off the excess with Naturopathica’s Manuka Honey Cleansing Balm, Aldridge admits early pregnancy really sent her skin into a tizzy. “When I first got pregnant I got a crazy [ . . . ] hormonal breakout,” she explains. “I got little bumps all over my face, neck, and back. And then you can’t tell anyone you’re pregnant at the time, so people were like ‘What’s wrong with your skin?’ ” Fast-forward a few months and, armed with the right products in her repertoire, including ReFa’s Carat Face Roller, which she uses to de-puff and sculpt her chiseled features, she’s got the situation under control—and then some. After applying a nourishing veil of Kora Organics Soothing Moisturizer over her face, neck, and décolletage and slicking on Windsor Edwards Lip Balm (“I use it pregnant or not!”), she moves on to her body. For that, there’s Kate McLeod’s lush plant-based Mama Stone with rich cacao butter and seed oils. “You’re supposed to put it everywhere [you’re] growing], which is literally everywhere right now.”

Before moving on to makeup, Aldridge ties her dark, chest-grazing lengths into pigtail braids. “It gives you really nice waves, and it’s an easy hairdo while you do your makeup,” she says. Dabbing RMS’s cult Un Cover-Up Concealer under the eyes, she then blends it with Noni Glow Face Oil, creating her own bespoke elixir. “It’ll spread easier, and it becomes more of, like, almost like a tinted moisturizer, so you get a little bit extra coverage without it being as thick as a concealer,” she explains.

“I’m trying to keep these cheekbones alive as long as I can!” she laughs as she contours the hollows of her cheeks with a darker shade of the concealer and blends a cherry-red tint on the apples for a brightening pop of color. After strobing her lids and cheekbones with iridescent highlighter, she unleashes her secret trick to voluminous, fanned-out fringe. Lifting her lashes with an eyelash curler, she vigorously wiggles her mascara wand at the roots, haphazardly working her way up. “It’s going to make a mess and it’s fine,” she says, pointing out that the saturated application ultimately doubles as delicate eyeliner. “That’s what Q-tips are for, after all!”

Following a swipe of the new Rodin x Vanessa Traina lip color in red dahlia, she uses her fingertip to blur the edges. Then, after shaking out her plaits into effortless waves (“Even though we’re in Nashville, I’m still a California girl!”), she mists her signature fragrance on her neck, wrists, and beach-y ends before issuing one parting supermodel tip. “I love to do my hair too, because when people hug you they say, ‘You smell so good.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, me?’ ”
